The Sole Obligation

"Thud..."

With a soft thud, Fang Li, who had fallen from mid-air, landed on a diving platform, his back to everyone.

At that moment, all the students who had been rushing towards Fan Xinglu just a second ago landed and stood around, staring blankly Fang Li.

In mid-air, Fan Xinglu also lowered her head, looking at Fang Li, a smile spreading across her youthful face.

That smile was full of surprise and joy.

The surroundings became completely silent.

Fang Li slowly turned around, facing Fan Xinglu was floating in mid-air in an unbelievable way, raised a tightly clenched hand, and opened his palm.

In Fang Li's hand, a school badge lay.

It was none other than Fan Xinglu's school badge.

Seeing this, all the students stood there speechless.

"Hahaha."

Fan Xinglu laughed innocently like a child, clapping her hands and saying happily, "I never expected that someone here could actually snatch my school badge. What a pleasant surprise!"

In the Battle City, the school badge holds great significance.

The hardened school badge is not only a small instrument with internal information processing capabilities, but it can also be used for applying for and adjudicating duels, or transmitting battle data to the computer host, and so on.

This is to prevent cheating as much as possible.

Because in the Battle City, one can change their status through duels.

If the students belong to the same academy, then under the witness of the school emblem, once a winner is determined, the result of the duel will change the ranking.

However, in the Battle City, every duel has a condition for determining the winner.

That is damaging the school emblem.

Once the school badge is destroyed, no matter how advantageous the duel is, or how much stronger the opponent is, the player will be judged as defeated.

Now, Fan Xinglu's school badge has been taken away by Fang Li.

what does that mean?

This means that if this were a duel, Fan Xinglu has already lost.

Of course, this couldn't be a duel.

If it were a duel, there wouldn't be so many people helping Fang Li restrain Fan Xinglu, causing Fan Xinglu's attention to be completely off Fang Li, who was standing still. In the end, Fang Li found an opportunity, unleashed his power, and snatched the school badge.

At that moment, Fan Xinglu slowly floated down from mid-air and landed on the central throne. Looking at Fang Li, she asked a question that seemed both curious and pleasant.

"May I have your name?"

Looking at Fan Xinglu's happy and adorable smile, Fang Li couldn't treat her like a child and nod and speak as if she were an elder.

"My name is Fang Li."

"Fang Li?" Fan Xinglu nodded in satisfaction and said, "His performance just now was quite good. Although the flow of his Star Pulse Energy was chaotic, like a newborn baby, his movement was excellent. His speed was probably even faster than Hu Feng's. Plus, his last move was quite skillful. He was like a gem that hadn't been polished yet. What a promising talent!"

With that, Fan Xinglu clapped her hands, making this declaration.

"Very good, you have passed the test. From today onwards, you are my fifty-second direct disciple."

At this point, Fan Xinglu's eyes began to gleam with a predatory light as she looked at Fang Li, and she suddenly spoke in an innocent tone.

"To become my disciple, you only need to remember one thing."

"One day, you must satisfy my desires and let me experience the joy of battle."

As she said this, a violent sense of oppression began to rise from Fan Xinglu's body.

The oppressive feeling, like a ferocious beast or a heavy mountain, enveloped the entire hall.

All the students around turned pale and began to tremble.

Even Fang Li felt his body suddenly become much heavier, making it slightly difficult to breathe.

However, Fang Li was not surprised by Fan Xinglu's words.

This Demon Immortal, who had lived for countless years, had no desires whatsoever.

There is only one reason why he studied at Jielong Academy, became the Student Council President, and took on many disciples.

That is to cultivate an opponent who can fight you.

Without exaggeration, Fan Xinglu is absolutely at the pinnacle of this world.

Having lived for over a thousand years and possessing the power to overturn mountains and seas, Fan Xinglu's greatest desire is to fight against others.

Only battle can satisfy this Demon Immortal.

Therefore, when Fan Xinglu takes on apprentices, she will never exercise any control over them or interfere with their work; she will only be responsible for one thing.

That is to teach martial arts and cultivate opponents worthy of a fight.

Apart from that, everything else is irrelevant to him.

Therefore, those who become Fan Xinglu's disciples possess absolute freedom.

However, there is only one obligation to be fulfilled.

Fighting Fan Xinglu.

Thinking of this, Fang Li took a deep breath, raised his head, and under the terrifying pressure that felt like a mountain, said this.

"Clear."

The moment the words left his mouth, the terrifying oppressive feeling that had enveloped the entire hall vanished without a trace.

"Very good." Fan Xinglu's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and then she looked at the students who were stunned in place, as if she had completely lost interest, and said, "Today's test ends here. You are welcome to come and challenge me again next time."

After speaking, Fan Xinglu raised one hand and waved it slightly in mid-air.

"Buzz—!"

The entire hall suddenly twisted and distorted, as if it had become the interior of a kaleidoscope, spinning back and forth.

Under such circumstances, the students wearing the World Dragon uniforms didn't even have time to react before they were sucked into the distorted space and disappeared from the spot.

When the hall was restored to its original state, only Fan Xinglu and Fang Li remained.

"I'm so happy today." Fan Xinglu waved to Fang Li as if she had done something insignificant, turning around as if she had done something trivial.

"Come here, let me show you around this Huangchen Hall, so you don't accidentally get lost later."

After saying that, Fan Xinglu left directly.

Watching Fan Xinglu humming a little tune as she gracefully leaped from one diving platform to another, gradually disappearing from sight, Fang Li remained speechless for a long while before finally letting out a sigh.

"Twisting space is like child's play for them, is this what Demon Immortal is like?"

With this thought in mind, Fang Li followed Fan Xinglu out of the hall.

The hall fell silent once again.
